From Mind to Brain: The Story of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT

MIT's Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, now a world leader in neuroscience and cognitive science, evolved from the Department of Psychology founded by Prof. Hans-Lukas Teuber in the early 1960s and based on the revolutionary idea that the study of mind and brain are inseparable. This film, produced for the department's 50th anniversary, tells the story through the eyes of distinguished BCS professors who first came to MIT as students or junior researchers. Produced, directed, and edited by Josh Kastorf. Director of Photography: Rob Eckel.
